Wednesday, November 7, 2007 - eRobert Parker Offline - Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Amarone (Backstreet Wine Salon, Phoenix): Decanted for two hours prior to serving. Beautiful complex floral nose with lots of red fruit. Tastes of raspberries, hay, earth, tea, kirsch, garrigue and cherries. Great structure. Incredible depth and complexity. Well balanced with nice acidity. Rather shut down at this point as was the '98 on release. The '03 and '04 were much more approachable in their youth. Needs at least 5-10 years before it really shines. Should easily last for 30 years. 14.5% alcohol.
